#ThrowbackThursday

In June 2024, we uncovered the lost book about "Arthur and Yick." In fact, we uncovered two.

Degrassi's publicist, Kathryn Ellis, had written a story about 'Swarming." Yick had joined a gang that started swarming kids for their shoes, clothes, jewelry and money. Yick's been able to keep it a secret from Arthur until one night, Arthur ends up being their target. After swarming Arthur for his things, Yick quits the gang and rekindles his relationship with his best friend.At the same time, Ken Roberts worked on a story about the duo. Following them through their first year at Degrassi as they learned about bullies, girls and revenge. Today we're listening to 3 excerpts from the Ken Roberts manuscript about "Arthur and Yick."Degrassi Kid: ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.patreon.com/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.discord.gg/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.tiktok.com/@degrassi_kid⁠⁠ [email protected]
